This month we're reading and discussing Sisters Frist: Stories from our Wild and Wonderful Life by Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush.
The meeting will be held on Thursday March 31, 2022 at 5 pm virtually and in person as space and safety issues allow.
About the book -
Funny and poignant personal stories and reflections from former first daughters. Born into a political dynasty, Jenna and Barbara Bush grew up in the public eye. As small children, they watched their grandfather become president; just twelve years later they stood by their father's side when he took the same oath. They spent their college years being trailed by the Secret Service and chased by the paparazzi, with every teenage mistake making national headlines.
But the tabloids didn't tell the whole story of these two young women forging their own identities under extraordinary circumstances. In this book they take readers on a revealing, thoughtful, and deeply personal tour behind the scenes of their lives, with never-before-told stories about their family, their adventures, their loves and losses, and the special sisterly bond that fulfills them.
